Private blacksmithing sessions with John Perilloux

Come spend a morning, afternoon or a full day with John in the shop learning the basics of blacksmithing. Beginner students will learn about the various tools used in the shop, safety precautions, how to use a gas and/or coal forge,  and hammer techniques before moving onto forging basics.  Forging basics include forging a point on a round bar, forging square stock into round stock, and punching a hole to name a few.   The student will pick a project to work on such as a hook or a untempered blacksmith knife depending on skill level.  Students who can demonstrate their knowledge and skill in the basics can progress to more complicated projects.  The time with John will be spent increasing your knowledge of forging wherever you are on your blacksmithing journey whether it is beginner, intermediate or advance.
